I think it's curious that the terrain bits are not limited edition whilst the 'wall of martyrs' set is. Would it not have been better to put the bits in WD and then announce the bundle offer as a Christmas thing? I expect some folks will be annoyed if they wanted just one part of that bundle and stumped up for the full set. Also the art for the book cover is odd as the arms from the Hellbrute in DV have been switched. I hope this is a continuation of the mini campaign from the box.
This impromptu 40 release makes me think that December is going to be a Hobbit fest.

Except practically everyone said (when it came out) that this was similar to other bundled terrain deals that were 'limited edition' in the past and that they were going to release the components afterwards. No one should have been surprised.

Putting $40 on a credit card until you have the cash in a month is certainly not a problem. That is, in fact, what credit cards are for. Leaving that balance on there for longer than a month or two? That's where people run into problems. I use my credit card for almost every purchase I make but pay it off within 30 days without fail.

You know how I know you didn't read the description?
This 96-page, full-colour hardcover book features exclusive artwork and a host of dynamic new rules. As well as the campaign system itself, the book contains rules that can be used in any Warhammer 40,000 game, from massive multi-player scenarios fought in low-gravity environments or in bunkers deep below the ground, to expanded rules for Flyers. It also features rules for playing games in the gladiatorial arenas of Commorragh as well as for fighting battles on the surface of a Daemon World.
So go ahead and repeat your incorrect assertion again. Automatically Appended Next Post:
Probably because it is just a campaign book and LE is the new black. It is no sweat off anyone's back if they don't get it.

Is it a hard back pamphlet? I was interested until I realized it is the White Dwarf in size, at twice the price. The content will not likely be much better either, a couple stories from one of their games, a couple odd rules, and a bunch of "buy me" pictures. I'll wait and read someone else's copy, thanks.
Hard back is so worth it.

LOL I read the description I wanna put money half the pictures will be recycled from the codex, The "Massive multiplayer scenarios" will be playing one step below apoc so essentially apoc without superheavies. "gladitorial commoragh scenarios" will have ridiculous rules that make no sense but its cool enjoy your book

wow, you have a copy already!! Dude!!!
Bummer that its that bad, can you post up the ratio of rules to "not really impressive" crap? I would love to see the ratio...
Oh, wait...I thought someone had the book already and made an objective analysis...
On the limited part, perhaps they are testing the waters to determine if a softback version would sell? Or perhaps there will be a campaign set?
I have to admit that part is indeed fascinating.
I will be buying it .. checking now to see if my FLGS will carry it (gotta support the guys house you play at...).

Hard back is so worth it.
2/3rds of WD's size (so WD without the catalog), and 5 times the price.
If it's got decent rules/content then I'll buy it, if it's sold out by that point then I won't.
If it was just the rules in the book, with the editorial walkthrough in WD I'd buy it right off, but I'm wary as to how much of it is rules and how much is filler (like the hobby section of the BRB).

Crusade of Fire
Crusade of Fire is a campaign system for Warhammer 40,000 that enables you to join the campaign to control the Corvus Sub-sector. Whether you choose to join the Crusade of Fire itself, the foul Servants of Ruin or the bloodthirsty Prophets of War, the fate of the sub-sector lies in your hands.
This 96-page, full-colour hardcover book features exclusive artwork and a host of dynamic new rules. As well as the campaign system itself, the book contains rules that can be used in any Warhammer 40,000 game, from massive multi-player scenarios fought in low-gravity environments or in bunkers deep below the ground, to expanded rules for Flyers. It also features rules for playing games in the gladiatorial arenas of Commorragh as well as for fighting battles on the surface of a Daemon World.
Crusade of Fire also features the story of nine hobbyists as they play through the campaign, including detailed battle reports, fantastic army showcases and turn-by-turn accounts of their conquest.
£25.
So in other words, the kinds of stuff that used to be published in White Dwarf...
Although in this book's favor, its "only" the cost of 4.1 White Dwarfs (US prices) and you don't have to wade through a couple of hundred advertising pages as you would in four White Dwarfs.
